Safari 4 Beta and Vista SP1

I like another poster have also uninstalled Safari 4 Beta for the following reasons.

1) A lot slower than Safari 3.2.2
2) When Taskbar is set to auto-hide, and Safari is in full screen mode, you can no longer hover at the bottom of the screen to get the Taskbar to appear. This feature worked fine with 3.2.2.

I'm currently running Vista Enterprise SP1, with version 4 beta of Safari. It is possibly one of the fastest GUI applications I use. I also use it on a XP machine, and again, it's noticeably faster than Firefox 3.x and IE 8 beta.

The problem you've experienced will be caused by something else, such as system environment and machine specs.

I am encountering the same bug with respect to the hidden taskbar in XP SP3. Safari 4 (528.16) does not allow the taskbar to unhide. It is the only Windows that causes this behavior (I have tried multiple other applications). I have submitted a bug report.
